Gluten Free Nesquik & Nutella Popsicles

Wednesday, July 10, 2013

Beat the heat this summer with this quick & delicious, chocolate lover's popsicle!

Have I mentioned that Manchester is in the throes of a heatwave? Average summertime temps here are 55 to 60. For much of last week and all this week and forecast for all of next week, temps are hovering around 70. It's lovely but hard work without any air conditioning. So, we've been looking for other ways to stay cool and incorporating lots of water play into our routine including splashing around in the bath at the hottest part of the day!

I've been seeking out edible ways to cool down as well! A friend shared with me a link for Nutella popsicles and I thought they were intriguing. In true, Anyonita Nibbles style, I've played around with the recipe and made it my own. The addition of the Nesquik really amps up the chocolatey flavor of these. They're finished off with a final ribbon of rich Nutella before being dabbed with sugar dots.

They're so quick to make and use three ingredients you probably have in your cupboard already! If you make them before breakfast, they'll be ready for lunch time when little hands would enjoy helping you dredge these in soft, silky Nutella and crunching them in small bowls of sugar dots or sprinkles.

Instructions:

Nesquik & Nutella Popsicles
1. Scoop the Nesquik powder into a measuring cup
2. Pour in about an ounce of milk
3. Mix the Nesquik and the milk to form a paste
4. Fill the measuring cup to the 250ml/8 ounce line with milk
5. Pour the milk into a blender or smoothie maker
6. Add in the Nutella
7. Blend until smooth
8. Decant the Nesquik and Nutella mix into popsicle molds and freeze for 3 to 4 hours or until set
9. Once set, dip each popsicle first into Nutella and then into sugar dots or sprinkles
10. Serve and enjoy

These look fantastic. I love anything with sprinkles. I'd love it if you'd stop by and link this up to my weekly link party. http://thelifeofjenniferdawn.blogspot.com/2013/07/a-little-bird-told-me-link-party-50.html

Hi Anyonita, I love this recipe to make ice pops and I am going to make these tonight. Thanks for sharing and I saw it on domestic superhero!Have a great weekend. Julie from julieslifestyle.blogspot.com

Yum yum YUM! Nutella AND nesquick?! Incredible combination! Pinning these now to my 'It's a Sunny Summer' board. Enjoy the Manchester weather - my family have all been raving about it too - visiting at the end of July, I wonder if it will still be hot!? :-D

Mmmm, these look so good! Perfect for these hot days, though we're in the 90's here most days. 70's sounds beautiful right about now.:) Pinned these; my boys would love them. Thanks so much for linking up to Inspire Me Wednesday! Featuring you in this week's issue.

Hi Sara,I'm in the Uk and the Nesquik powder produced here is definitely 100% gluten free. It sounds like it might vary from place to place. Here's what the people at Nesquik have to say about it containing gluten. You may want to contact them directly is you have any doubts: http://www.nestle.co.uk/asset-library/documents/nutritionhealthwellness/gluten%20avoidance%20list.pdf

Gluten Free Nesquik & Nutella Popsicles sound fantastic ! I love the fact they are gluten free, which means I wont have to be concerned with the neighbor kids this summer. Thank you for sharing another refreshing summertime gluten free treat!
